Lox Bagel

This is my favorite breakfast/brunch and I save it for special occasions and celebrations, such as SEC football on a Friday or the Iron Bowl. There may be a more traditional preparation but below is what I do and I've never been disappointed.

Budget tip: Buy smoked salmon "trims", i.e., the pieces of the smoked salmon that are less visually presentable. It tastes just as good. Or, mix these "trims" with the cream cheese to use as a bagel spread.
